Taking a dig at Mehbooba Mufti for advocating talks with militant groups and separatists, former deputy chief minister Kavinder Gupta on Tuesday said that it is the frustration of the PDP leader that she has started siding with separatists.
In a statement, Kavinder blamed “political exploitation” of PDP, National Conference and Congress for the renewing turmoil in Kashmir valley.
Accusing NC-Congress and PDP for playing with the sentiments of Kashmir people, he said these are the parties who are responsible for the turmoil in Kashmir. “They are now supporting the anti-national elements and polarising the situation in the State,” Kavinder said.
Asking the people to teach all such parties a lesson for their misdeeds and breaking promises, Gupta said all the three parties have sold the dreams of autonomy, self rule and dialogue for peace with dignity but have done nothing to bring peace and prosperity to the State.
He said time has come for the people to close the chapter for all those who have been exploiting them for the last seventy years.
